Our 91 Ford Tempo started spitting, sputtering and jerking the car while trying to drive. It seem to not be getting enough gas or air not really sure. Now it is to the piont where it won't even run!Clean air filter, fuel filter and replaced the EGR. Unsure what it can be at this piont even ckeck the reset switch foe the fuel pump, it's good. We already had to replace the fuel pump last year at the time, but different accurence then.
